5.3 Magnetism IB Physics Magnets and magnetic fields • 5.3.1 Draw the pattern of magnetic field lines of an isolated bar magnet. • 5.3.2 Draw the magnetic field pattern for the Earth. – Students should understand that the Earth’s magnetic field is similar to that of a bar magnet with a south magnetic pole near the geographic north pole, and that an isolated suspended magnet will orientate itself along the Earth’s magnetic field with its magnetic north pole directed towards the Earth’s geographic north pole. They should recognize the compass as one example of a suspended bar magnet. • 5.3.3 Draw and annotate magnetic fields due to currents. – These include fields around a straight wire, a flat circular coil and a solenoid. Students should recognize that the magnetic field pattern of a solenoid is similar to that of a bar magnet. Bar Magnets • A bar magnet is the simplest for of a dipole • It contains a “North” and “South” pole with the magnetic filed pointing from North to South • The picture to the right shows an illustration of the magnetic filed Bar Magnets • In reality there are in infinite number of magnetic field line, but to help visualize the strength of the field, more or less line can be drawn • Look at a bar magnet surrounded by iron filings • Notice the lines make loops around the magnet Earth magnetic field The latest data • This picture shows the direction of the earths magnetic field in 2006 • This shows the Earth’s magnetic field will eventually flip, so compasses will point South, not North • It turns out this flip occurs about every million years Click here for the link to article Magnetic Forces • 5.3.4 Determine the direction of the force on a currentcarrying conductor in a magnetic field. – Different rules may be used to determine the force direction. Knowledge of any particular rule is not required. • 5.3.5 Determine the direction of the force on a charge moving in a magnetic field. • 5.3.6 Define the magnitude of the magnetic field strength B. – This can be defined in terms of the force acting either on a current-carrying conductor or on a moving charge. • 5.3.7 Solve problems involving the magnetic forces on currents and moving charges. – Students should be able to calculate the force for situations where the velocity is not perpendicular to the magnetic field direction.
